Ingredients of Paratha Anda
For the Paratha:
* 2 ready-made parathas (frozen or homemade)
* 1 tbsp oil or butter per paratha
For the Egg Mixture (per paratha):

* 1 small green chili (finely chopped)
* 1 tbsp fresh coriander (chopped)

Step-by-Step Instructions of Paratha Anda
1. Prepare the Egg Mixture
1. In a bowl, beat eggs with chopped onion, chili, coriander, salt, and spices. Set aside.
2. Cook the Paratha
1. A tawa or skillet should be heated to medium heat.
2. Cook the paratha on one side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it is just beginning to turn brown, after adding 1 tablespoon of oil or butter.
3. Flip and reduce the heat slightly.
3. Pour and Cook the Egg
1. Spread the egg mixture evenly over the paratha’s cooked side.
2. Carefully flip the paratha so the egg side is now in contact with the pan.
3. Gently press so the egg sticks well. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the egg is fully set and golden.
4. Flip again if needed to crisp both sides.
Optional Upgrade: Add a slice of cheese or leftover chicken keema before folding.
